EXPOSITION A GRAND SUCCESS Twin Cities Choirs Share Equal Honors VOLUME I, NO. 45 EXPO Twin CHOIR CONTEST ENDS WITH ALL HONORS DIVIDED Minneapolis Church Is Taxed to Capacity to Hear Rivals of Two Churches. BOTH DIRECTORS WIN PRAISE FROM AUDIENCE St. Peter's and St. James' Choirs Tied for Championship of the Twin Cities. The Choirs of St. Peter's A. M. E. church, Minneapolis, and St. James' A. M. E. church, St. Paul, met at the church of the former Wednesday evening for the second popular choir contest of the Twin Cities. St. Peter's choir, under the direction of Mrs. Maud Uptergrove, and St. James' choir, under Mrs. Antoinnette Crafton, held the audience spellbound with the greatest program of selection witnessed this year. Miss Eva B. Walker, Minneapolis elocutionist, and Miss Eula Belle Moore, St. Paul reader, also appeared on the program. Miss Essie Mason was organist for St. Peter's choir while Mr. Sidney Williams was the St. James' church accompanist. The first contest was held at St. James' church in St. Paul Wednesday, December 5, and the Mill City choir journeyed to the Saintlyt City in quest of victory. St. James' choir emerged victorious at the first session. Honors Now Even. Wednesday night's program in Minneapolis resulted in St. Peter's choir receiving the majority of votes. The two choirs now share equal honors and it was announced by Mr. O. C. Hall that the tie will be decided at a future date by giving a program outside of the Twin Cities. The programs presented represented hours of constant thought and rehearsing on the part of the singers. Both Mrs. Upthergrove and Mrs. Crafton deserve great credit for their presentation. Two outstanding numbers were "Listen to the Lambs," by Nathanial Dett, rendered by St. James' choir, and "Let My People Go," by Minneapolis' own Mrs. Kathryne Smith and sang by St. Peter's choir. Mrs. Smith received a large ovation following her number. St. Peter's church was taxed to capacity by the enthusiasts, and it is expected that the next program will be witnessed by the largest crowd as yet in attendance of a such contest. T. Arnold Hill is St. Paul Visitor Mr. T. Arnold Hill, Western field secretary of the National Urban League, arrived in the city Thursday morning from Chicago in order to attend the regular meeting of the St. Paul Urban League. Mr. Hill, who recently held the annual meeting of the Chicago Urban League, reports that "At no time in the history of the Negro has there been shown greater evidence of the head of the Urban League than now." The movement of race people from South to the North continues and the problems of race adjustment in northern cities becomes more perplexing. The Urban League presents the program for their solution. Mrs. Margaret Turner was granted a divorce from Ralph Turner. Just what you have been waiting for, a real home-cooked dinner, Ham and green and Chitterlings will be served on Thursday, Dec. 20, by Mrs. R. F. Wilson at her residence, 697 St. Anthony avenue...

THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN WORSHIP Camphor Church to Celebrate Fourth Anniversary Sunday Several Organizations Within and the invaluable aid of the general the Church Do Much Toward Methodist Episcopal church." Since Rev. Jordan became pastor of the church eight months ago, there has been a marked increase in the attendance and membership of both the church and Sunday school, the church membership almost being doubled. New organizations and activities have revived the spirit of the entire congregation. The Sunday Evening club has found its rightful place as a community force. Its programs are of unusual character. The free employment service has procured work for a goodly number of applicants, while new-comers have been assisted in finding homes. As relief service, several needy and worthy families were given baskets of groceries on Thanksgiving Day. Other relief work is planned for the future. The new "Community-Index System" with its survey and systematic method of community visitation has given the church a clear vision of its community task. A Mothers' Club, which is making a special study of family problems and other kindred activities under the direction of Mrs. Jordan, has brought the church into contact with the various organizations for community uplift in the city. "Yet," says Rev. Jordan, "we do not claim to have a real, modern church program so soon, for the type of program we have visualized for Camphor church still requires considerable time, patience, preparation, plans and methods. We cordially invite the public to our activities and services. Take Merriam-Mississippi car, get off at Thirteenth street." Philadelphia, Pa.—Organs of the church have already buckled down to do their part in making the influence of migrants from the South effective politically. The Christian Recorder of this city, published by the African Methodist Episcopal church, calls attention to the results obtained already by Negroes in voting, and urges the newcomers to band together to see hat more good Negroes are put into office. It believes the church should use its influence to see that the new voters obtain proper political results. The young ladies who appeared as models in the Style Show for the Negro Business League were: Miss Mae Peak, Mrs. Bianche Lee, Miss Lucille Johnson, Mrs. Beneerce Hamilton, Mrs. Geraldine Pickett, Mrs. Almee Hall, Mrs. Florence McGavock, Miss Isabelle Castone, Mrs. Betty Crawford, Mrs. Edna Webb, Mrs. Jessie Brown, Little Meredith Sizer, Laure Hall and Masters Billie Maxwell and David Hall. All hats worn by the models were furnished through the courtesy of the Quality Hat Shop, and were made by Mrs. Edith Pearmon. Several Organizations Within the Church Do Much Toward Its Success.

Tuesday, December 18, will be Anniversary Day. Beginning at 5 P. M. the Ladies' Ald will serve a special chicken dinner at 35 cents per plate. At 8 P. M. there will be a program with Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church and others as speakers. The congregation was organized 4 years ago in a private residence, and, after worshipping a year in various places, the present property was purchased by aid of the one hundred fifteen million dollar centenary movement of the Methodist Episcopal church. It was named "Camphor Memorial," in memory of the late Bishop Alexander Priestly Camphor, Negro bishop-elect to Africa in the Methodist Episcopal church. "The phenomenal success of Camphor Memorial," says Rev. Jordan, "has been due to a hard-working membership Associated Press Comments on Local Business League Act (Associated Negro Press) O. Howell, president of the Business League of St. Paul, at the behest of its members, dispatched a strong letter of protest to Chas. K. Blandin, president of the St. Paul Dispatch Publishing Co., publishers of a local white daily, protesting against the continued use on the part of the editors of the white papers of terms derogatory to the Negro race. The people of St. Paul were incensed when a headline in the daily announced "Darktown Attends Sumptuous Wedding" in referring to the recent Jackson-Walker nuptials in New York. This, Howell claimed, came as the climax to a number of similar references by writers for the same paper. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1923. Relief Work. AMES LODGE 106 I. B.

There were representatives at this joint meeting from several white organizations. These joint meetings, bringing prominent white people into conference with the executive committee and advisory board of the N. A. A. C. P., will be held from time to time with the idea of acquainting these white people with the problems of our group in this city. Mrs. Lucy Robinson, 632 W.

THE LOCAL "TRIUMVIRATE" PETER H. HARRIS MR. OWEN HOWELL President THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN DR. JOHN R. FRENCH Chairman ST. PAUL LAWYER IN IMPORTANT LEGAL VICTORY South Carolina Shyster Forced to Return Money Defrauded From Woman. In October, 1916, Mrs. Sally Bomar of Duluth, Minn., retained counsel at that place to bring suit for her through other attorneys at Spartanburg, S. C. The case dragged along until January, 1918, when the Spartanburg attorney notified the Duluth attorneys that the judgment entered in the case had been set aside; that the property had been sold and the defendant, obtaining the money from the court, had fled the jurisdiction of the court, and the labor spent in the action had gone for nothing. Client Gets Check. The Duluth attorneys, relying on the statement, dropped the matter and nothing more was done or thought about the case until August, 1923, when Mrs. Bomar accidentally met the other party to the suit in Chicago from whom she secured information which led her to believe that she had been "double-crossed." On September 27 last Mrs. Bomar consulted Attorney W. T. Francis of St. Paul, who immediately started an investigation at Spartanburg which led from hat place to Duluth and back again o Spartanburg. So skillful was Mr. Francis' efforts that on last Sunday Mr. Francis delivered to Mrs. Bomar at Duluth $3,500, representing the amount which the Spartanburg attorney had embezzled from her five ears ago. The Illinois Conference is going to have a program and dinner Sunday, December 16, all day service. We are marching with great spirit.

Bulletin Activities Arouses Sentiment of Contemporaries (Associated Negro Press) The Northwestern Bulletin of St. Paul has thrown itself into a crusade against the names of songs sung by Negro artists for phonograph companies. It is asking its readers to sign a coupon endorsing the resolution that "The Negro race shall commit itself being opposed to unethical phonograph records and further to do everything possible to co-operate with the race editors of America to help secure a more healthful type of musical numbers." The Bulletin further declares itself opposed to the titles of any records which will cause embarrassing situations to the women of our race or furnish position for their insult. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRICE: FIVE CENTS CESS DISPLAY PROVES GREATEST EVER IN NORTHWEST St. Paul Negro Business League Goes on Record as Giving Honor Event. AUDITORIUM IS SCENE OF ALL RACE EXHIBITS Mayor Praises Work of Business Men in Giving Second Annual Exposition. The second annual Exposition and Style Show, given by the St. Paul Negro Business League at the Auditorium December 10-11, now belongs to the historical achievements of the race in the Northwest. The outstanding feature of the exposition is that it was the greatest event in the history of the race in this section. At 7:45 Monday evening Mr. Owen Howell, president of the Business League, officially opened the exposition to the largest crowd of race people ever assembled in the Auditorium. The official opening was followed by "The National Emblem," played by Moore's Concert orchestra. Following the selection, the chorus from Pilgrim Baptist church, directed by Mr. Allen French, gave two well rendered and highly appreciated numbers. Boy Scout Escort. The local Boys Scouts acted as honorary escorts for Mayor Arthur E. Nelson. Forty strong, they marched in true military style, carrying an American flag and banners. Following the company of scouts was Mayor Nelson, accompanied by Dr. John R. French, chairman of the exposition, and Fred D. McCracken, vice-president of the Business League. The impressiveness of the "military" escort, marking time to martial music, brought a hush of respectful silence over the throng, reminding every one of the days of 1917. A big ovation was tendered the Mayor and his escorts as he mounted the platform; one that Mayor Nelson graciously recognized. Mr. Howell Speaks. Mr. Owen Howell said: "I am proud of the opportunity of being able to officially open this, the greatest exposition ever given by race business men in the history of the Northwest. It is regrettable, however, that all our members did not assist in this grand endeavor. However, those who gave the best efforts are responsible for this magnificent display. We thank the public for co-operating with us and hope that those who failed to perform their duty will realize that success is based on co-operation for the good of all." The speaker then told of the work of the league since its inception and the things accomplished. Following these remarks Mr. Howell will said: "I feel that the greatest man in St. Paul is our honorary guest. He has fully demonstrated his belief in fair play on many occasions. I take great pleasure in introducing Mayor Arthur E. Nelson of St. Paul." Mayor Nelson Says. Mayor Nelson accepted the ovation of the audience and when the applause subsided began to tell of the value of co-operation for a better St. Paul and graphically stated that the race was playing a tremendous part in this undertaking. "The colored people of St. Paul have proven themselves worthy of every right as citizens. Prejudice has no right to exist against any man because of color, creed or religion. Therefore, as Mayor of St. Paul, I feel no greater honor has ever been given me than to welcome this great exhibition, conceived, produced and managed by our respected colored business men." Mayor Nelson further commended the men responsible for the exhibition and praised the work of the Negro Business League in St. Paul. He dwelled at length on the value of cooperation and the race man's part in the making of a community. His (Continued on Page 4) Page 2 Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS "First in Service" IN DEFENSE OF THE MINISTRY Prof. Kelly Miller, Dean of Howard, condemning the race ministers that the ends of work in connection with their duties his contention on the fact that he as to take all of the minister's time church and keep in contact with his wife, Prof. Miller's version sounds very cannot be accepted, at least, for the who is fortunate enough to have a large enough to support him adept preferred class of Prof. Miller's idea, an afford to maintain a modern ministry to other channels for income. It may be many churches whose membership churches are found in small communities need the gospel just the same as the nation. The average minister does church, yet there is not the same end supporting membership. This may or not for a minister to display, but cognac that ministers must live and that his family is just as great as any one in all sections of the country be abiding in a sufficient salary the theory. So long as there are churches to yet need the spirit of the Creator, the scised too severely for doing some of the actual work of the ministry. One of our best assets of the civic, economic ministers. In various communities like decisions for the common cause or need to be of the better quality. Yet his cities unless he is versed in the dutifullyversed without experience. The work minister as well as a Sunday mornin that the minister should resort to woe must be taught how to live, move in the week as well as the seventh. Every church in every community can accept the Prof. Miller theory. Until it criticise the minister with a small church something not of a strict ministerial nativities of life. Last week Prof. Kelly Miller, Dean of Howard University, issued an article condemning the race ministers that find it necessary to do other kinds of work in connection with their clerical duties. Prof. Miller bases his contention on the fact that the Ministry is so large a job as to take all of the minister's time to adequately deal with his church and keep in contact with his members. In theory, Prof. Miller's version sounds very well, but the practical value cannot be accepted, at least, for the time being. The race minister, who is fortunate enough to have a church whose membership is large enough to support him adequately, may be placed in the preferred class of Prof. Miller's idea. But not all of our churches can afford to maintain a modern minister without his having to resort to other channels for income. It must be admitted that there are many churches whose membership is from twenty to thirty, such churches are found in small communities. Yet these small communities need the gospel just the same as the metropolitan cities of the nation. The average minister does not loathe to accept a small church, yet there is not the same enthusiasm shown as in a self-supporting membership. This may or may not be the right disposition for a minister to display, but cognizance must be taken of the fact that ministers must live and the cost of living and supporting his family is just as great as any one else. Should every church in all sections of the country be able to support a minister by paying him a sufficient salary the theory of Prof. Miller could be accepted. So long as there are churches that cannot support a pastor, yet need the spirit of the Creator, the minister surely cannot be criticised too severely for doing some other line in conjunction with the actual work of the ministry. Again, some of our best assets of the civic, economic and financial world are ministers. In various communities the minister is expected to make decisions for the common cause of all. His judgment is expected to be of the better quality. Yet how can he serve in these capacities unless he is versed in the duties of life. And how can he be versed without experience. The world needs a seven day a week minister as well as a Sunday morning speaker. We do not believe that the minister should resort to worldly methods, but the populace must be taught how to live, move and have their being six days in the week as well as the seventh. When every church in every community can support its ministers we can accept the Prof. Miller theory. Until then we cannot too severely criticise the minister with a small church who is forced to resort to something not of a strict ministerial nature in order to meet the necessities of life. THE EXHIBITION Is second annual exhibition of the Press? Offer to the above question depends upon attempts to answer it. There are ample who cannot distinguish between the颈. Is the aim of the exhibition? Was it Was the second annual exhibition of the Negro Business League a success? The answer to the above question depends upon the vision of the one who attempts to answer it. There are among us, unfortunately, a group who cannot distinguish between the end and the means to that end. What was the aim of the exhibition? Was the end in view merely staging a style show? By no means, although we deeply appreciate and thank those who took part. Was the aim and end in view the choral club, the orchestra, or any of the other attractions, the individuals of which labored so strenuously, many without recompense, in order to make it a success? Hardly that—though words of appreciation are vain in an attempt to express our gratitude for their services. Was it in order that we might know who could display the cleverest exhibits? No, not that. What was it? There are seven thousand race members in St. Paul, and nearly twenty thousand in Minnesota. If we can bring home to each member of our group, or even to the majority of them the fact that, first, there are over two hundred members among us actually engaged in various business enterprises, that these various groups are thriving, are serving, and also depending upon us for existence. Second, that if it is possible for them to exist, it is quite probable that there are many more business ventures that would succeed. When once this fact comes home to the public, we shall realize that the success of a race depends less upon the number of prominent men you can call by their first name, and more upon the extent of business and industrial activity. If there is a single new business venture launched as the result of the inspiration of exhibition during the year, or if there is a single customer gained for a single business man who took part in that exhibition, then the exhibition will not have been in vain. It, on the contrary, will be a great success. The members and officers in particular of the Business League are to be congratulated, first, upon having the vision that made possible the exhibition, and second, for putting it across in such a large scale. If you did not come out you missed a tremendous opportunity to realize what is possible for our group to do. Let us trust that the spark struck off by this demonstration will blaze into such a conflagration of business endeavor that every man, woman and child will appreciate the results to be obtained by spending our dollars where they are appreciated as well as needed. Timely Topics (Chicago Whip) That ignorant suspicion, that selfish jealousy and that lack of faith in each other which is characteristic of the black race is that which we, the black people ourselves, have termed "evil mindedness." It is a well known accusation made by the black man against himself that he is evil. When they used to say that "black is evil" they meant that things black were tainted with mysticism, that they savored of the wicked, that darkness was associated with crime. Conjuration and black magic gave the tinge of evil to things of ebony hue but now with the advance of civilization and the growth of intelligence nobody thinks that black is evil except those who have remained sedentary while humanity marched forward, but they do still ery that we are "evil minded." We have among us those who bite the feeding hands, who mistrust their own benefactors, those who create imaginary enemies and magnify their woes, those who misconstrue every honest motive intended to benefit them. They are the evil minded who are too well known by the members of our race. The race of American black people is infested with those people who have distorted minds, they are easily offended and they go around looking for the weakness in everything and fail to see its potentialities. These people positively and absolutely are unwilling to think straight for that reason, if for none other, it is extremely difficult to cement the great cleavage that keeps us separated upon those matters which affect us so vitally. Honest difference of opinion can be condemned by no man, but the constitutional disgruntled, the distrusting and suspicious type, is one of the greatest liabilities of our people. The "evil mindedness" of our people has caused more business to fail, has deluded the ardor of more ambition, has stilled the spirit of more institutions and men among us than any other force that we can estimate. Evil mindedness caused a successful bank to fall among us a few years ago, it also caused a bright young minister to take off his sombre robes and desert the church, it has poisoned the minds of many of us against our own. Many able members of the black race cloister and sequester themselves from their own people because of this regrettable state of affairs. When we find a man who is "cold on the race question" and unconcerned about the conditions of his people upon getting into his confidence it will be discovered that somewhere in his life he has been victimized by the evil minded. If the mass-mind is evil and distrusting, then the unification of forces and ideals is made impossible and those meta-physicians of ours who wish straight thinking and mass action had better begin to work on the minds of our people. When our minds are made to function correctly our actions will count for more. At the present time our "evil mindedness" is vitiating all efforts toward solidarity and cohesion. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE 'St. Louis Argus' That part of President Coolidge's message which made special reference to the twelve million (12,000,000) colored people, was scrutinized very closely by the thoughtful men and women of the race. Of course, the Argus does not approve of the "Commission" to study the proper relations of the races toward each other. We contend that a Commission could not tell more than is generally known to the least informed person of the country. Its findings could only be, if truthfully reported, that the colored people are lynched and sometimes burned at the stake because of the most trivial offense. This could be broken up entirely by making lynching a Federal offense. Then there is also that abominable Jim-Crow car system. We hold that if the government can protect cattle and freight under an Inter-state law, surely Uncle Sam can protect citizens in their rights to a first-class accommodation while travelling. Those are two of the most outstanding evils that vex the very soul of every colored person in the United States. The very fact that Uncle Sam does nothing for the protection of the colored people in cases where it is the government's plain duty, that in itself gives encouragement to all kinds of other evils, such as injustices in the courts and other petty discriminations. All of those things are well known and have not been done in a corner nor under a bushel. A Commission could compile these facts. But the N. A. A. C. P. has done much along this line. The BOOTERIE SAINT PAUL 375 ROBERT "Romany" Boot Sandal Suede leathers...$18.00 Satins ...$15.00 Stocked in six colors Black Mandalay Otter Sand Cocoa Cinnamon NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN We regard the statement of President Coolidge that refers to "outside interference" as a surrender to the dictates of the South. That has been the forword of the South ever since before the Civil War. It was the "outside interference" that saved the Union and freed the slaves. The white South has ever since that time continued to complain about outside interference every time any kind of movement has been started to help the Negroes to help themselves. We can't believe that the President was ignorant or failed to grasp the full significance of his words when he wrote his message. It may be, however, that he was compelled to yield to the wishes of Bascom Slemp on this point. These last two words, "outside interference," to our minds betray a weakness in the President of the United States that will be hard for him to overcome. If nothing else in his message pleases the South, we are quite sure that that point will give comfort and consolation to every Southerner who wants a new lease on lynching and the whole category of deviltry practiced against the Negroes. "TEDDY" JR. FOLLOWS IN FOOTSTEPS OF FATHER (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has spurned the offer of support of the Ku Klux Klan in his candidacy for governor of the state of New York. "I have not heard one thing about the Klan endorsing me," Mr. Roosevelt said. "I cannot conceive that it is so, because I came out flat-footed against them in a public speech on Lincoln's birthday last year. The fundamental principle of Americanism is that men should be judged as men, and no distinction made on racial or religious lines." The statement was contained in a letter written to the N. A. A. C. P. WHERE IS SANHEDRIN IS WHAT EVERYBODY ASKS (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y.—What has become of the Sanhedrin or All-Race Conference? This inquiry is being made by various national organizations here who were instrumental in projecting the idea upon the public mind. Prof. Kelly Miller of Washington, D. C., is chairman of the committee on arrangements. His last announcement postponed the date of the conference which has accepted an invitation to meet in Chicago from November to February. Most of the national civic, fraternal, religious and business organizations, it is said, have selected delegates to attend the conference. BLUE BOOK WILL GIVE FACTS ON RACE SINCE 1830 Washington, D. C.-The first "Blue" book, a report on the free Negroes in the United States for the year 1830 is soon to be issued by the Association for Study of Negro Life in History, to which Dr. Carter G. Woodson is director. This report will give the names of colored people who were heads of families in 1830 in this country, where they were living, how many were in each family, how many slaves each owned and what relation these free Negroes sustained to the white people. This research covers also the statistics of absentee ownership of slaves by whites. The first volume of the report will be published within the next six months. Using it as a basis, the director will make further investigation of the free Negroes to determine their economic status, their social position, the attitude of the southern whites toward this class, and the opinion of the North with respect to them as citizens. Working in this same field, but developing special aspects of this history, are George F. Dow and Miss Irene A. Wright. Mr. George F. Dow has been employed to read the 18th century colonial newspapers of New England for facts bearing on the Negro. Miss Irene A. Wright is now extracting from the Archives of the Indies in Seville, Spain, some valuable documents showing the part the Negroes played in the early struggle between the British and Spanish in America and especially the records of the Mose Settlement of Negroes in Florida and the achievements of the Negroes in Louisiana. Miss Wright will also copy all accessible documents of Latin-America, giving accounts of Negroes in higher spheres of usefulness. The Association is endeavoring to employ an investigator to render the same sort of service in the British Museum and the Public Record Office in London.

"It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." RECIPES IN SEASON Now is the time to prepare some of these good things for the winter: Mustard Pickle.—Take one quart of small cucumbers, one quart of pared cucumbers cut into half-inch cubes, one quart of green tomatoes cut into cubes but not peeled, one quart of button onions, one large cauliflower divided, three green and one red pepper chopped. Make a ```markdown ``` brine of four quarts of cold water and a pint of salt, pour over the vegetables and let stand twenty-four hours. Put over the heat and cook until the vegetables are thoroughly scalded. Drain in a colander. Mix one cupful of flour with six tablespoonfuls of ground mustard, add one tablespoonful of turmeric and cold vinegar to make a paste. Add one cupful of sugar, and vinegar to make two quarts of the mixture, boil until the flour is well cooked and a smooth paste is formed. Add the vegetables and when thoroughly hot seal for winter use. Pepper Relish.—Take twelve each of green peppers, red peppers and onions, one and three-fourths cupfuls of sugar, three cupfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of salt, one tablespoonful of celery seed. Remove the seeds and white fiber from the peppers, put them and the onions through the meat grinder. Cover-with bolling water and let stand five minutes; drain; add the rest of the ingredients and boll fifteen minutes and put into cans. Pickled Spiced Onions—Peel small onions and cover with hot water and salt, making a strong brine. Let them stand twenty-four hours, drain and cover with another hot brine. The next day drain and make a fresh brine, heat to the boiling point, add the onions and boil three minutes. Drain and put onions in jars with bits of mace, bay-leaf, a few whole peppers and cloves and slices of red pepper. Fill the jar with hot vinegar, allowing one cupful of sugar to a gallon of vinegar. Seal at once. Nellie Maxwell The KITCHEN CABINET (© 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) The restraint of a prescribed diet at times defeats its end by the added attention, and the sense of injury attaching deprivation, which is invites. Jadacious neglect is often the better rule for the interspectively disposed.—Joseph Jastrow. COOKING WITH BRAINS There is nothing in the deld of food so deadly to the appetite as a monotonous diet, and "the sky is the limit" for a cook who can supply plain and intelligent cooking for the plain and intelligent notonous diet, and "the sky is the limit" for a cook who can supply plain and intelligent cooking for the plain and intelligent demands of the husbands and sons. Such conditions are entirely too ideal to ever be reached, as where one may be fairly reached the other is wholly lacking. The normal person, properly trained, is able to eat and enjoy all kinds of food that are good and well cooked. There will be degrees of enjoyment, as some like one better than another, but the finical, fussy eater is largely so from bad training, if he is well, and thus, normal. We all know what the artist said when asked with what he mixed his paints. We need more of that essential (brains) in all of our cooking and eating of foods. The great majority of middle class and people of wealth eat too much—they live to eat. Then there are those who through indoor work or inactivity have no appetite and in consequence refuse to eat because they are not hungry. Foods must be pleasant to the taste to increase the flow of the gastric juice, and as the eye is the first to receive impressions, food must be made attractive in appearance so that it will be tasted. It has been proved too often to quote that worry and nervousness will retard or entirely stop the process of digestion, so, too, we need to put away everything of that sort, when possible, or wait to eat until more composed. When judgment tells us that food is good and wholesome common sense will tell us to cultivate a liking for it. We need roughage, like spinach or fibrous vegetables, or else the 30 feet of food canal will be idle and when idle there is always mischief, and we pay in countless ways.

New York.—More than 10,000 specimens of multi-colored birds from the South seas, including 30 varieties hitherto unknown to ornithology, and many more of which only one or two examples had only been vaguely heard of, arrived in New York recently in the custody of Rollo H. Beck, an experienced naturalist and collector of marine birds, who has been cruising among the islands of the southern Pacific for the last three years in charge of the Whitney Ornithological expedition. He has covered 20,000 miles and visited nearly 100 islands in Polynesia and the Marquesas. This collection, noted for its scientific value and beauty, now is in the Museum of Natural History here, and is being catalogued, appraised and classified by Dr. Robert C. Murphy, assistant curator of birds at the museum. It will be some time, Doctor Murphy told a representative of the Christian Science Monitor, before Mr. Beck's collection, will be ready for public exhibition, but it is already obvious, he said, that the specimens brought back will provide a valuable addition to ornithological data. Strange Species Found. One of the outstanding discoveries made by Doctor Beck was that environment and isolation have a marked effect on the development of birds, both in color markings and in organic structure. Birds of the same family discovered on one island were found to be quite different from those only a few miles away. Very often two birds of the same genus found on different islands would differ in size or their beaks might vary, or the color markings of one would be of a deeper shade and more pronounced than those of the other. The expedition has brought back many specimens either totally unknown up to the present or which have been studied only from photographs or written descriptions. For instance there is Peale's Petrel, discovered by Titian Peale in 1838 and not seen or heard of since, of which several specimens were secured by Doctor Beck. It is a dark, demure little bird, and as one turns it in the hand mysterious greens and blues and brownish blacks are seen. The Polynesian sandpiper, a small, perit thing, whose feathers are white, mottled with a peculiar pale brown, was up to a few days ago only known to the world through five carefully guarded specimens. Doctor Murphy proudly exhibited nearly half a trayful. Doctor Beck also found a rare variety of cuckoo which, according to some accounts, is parasitic and lays its eggs in the nests of the brilliant fruit pigeons and the sagacious looking terns. "Extinct Birds" Found. Doctor Murphy pointed out that several of the forms discovered by the Whitney expedition had been listed as "extinct birds" during the early years of this century. The Christmas island warbler has never before been represented in any collection and was known to ornithologists only through a description now found to be at fault. The museum at Turin, Italy, is the only collecting agency that has forestalled the Natural History museum in obtaining the fruit pigeon from Rapa, whose distinguishing feature is a crown of crushed raspberry surrounded by a narrow circle of gold. It would take a fair-sized book to describe the splendor and the beauty of Doctor Beck's collection. There are the parrakeets, blasingly bright; there is the red-talled tropic bird, whose feathers have a pearly sheen tinted with a delicate pink glow; green teals; the blue-sky kingfisher, and the most striking of all, the fruit pigeons. Every color in the rainbow scintillates from the fruit pigeons in Doctor Murphy's office—moss green, deep, deep crimson, orange-burnt dark by the sun, and an endless number of iliacs, mauves, and pale purple. Man Forced to Spend Canton. After chopping with axes for more than two hours, workmen succeeded in rescuing P. P. Hassan, thirty-six, from a block of asphalt where he had been embedded all night. Only his head, right arm and shoulder were visible. Hassan fell over a small embankment into a pool of warm asphalt while walking near an asphalt plant at night. He became exhausted trying to free himself and lie down. In the meantime the asphalt hardened. His calls for help were finally heard by a workman shortly before six o'clock in the morning. Remaining conscious, Hassen directed the cutting away of the asphalt which held him a prisoner. Hassan apparently suffered no serious effects. Stone 10 men but lost $100 Stanton, Minn.—Seventy hens were stolen from the henhouse of Mrs. Robert Radtke, near here. At the same time she discovered the loss, the woman found a pocketbook containing $750 on the floor of the coop. Later in the day she saw two men enter the coop and search the floor. She smiled and said nothing as they departed empty handed. SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN DULUTH NEWS Mrs. Minnie R.

In 1787 Absalom Jones and Richard Allen of Philadelphia led in a movement to found an organization among the race, the purpose of which was to support one another in sickness, and assist widows and fatherless children. This organization was formed without regard to religious tenets, but the persons were required to live an orderly and sober life. It was known as the "Free African Society" and the following interesting clause is a part of one of its articles of organization, i. e.: "We deem it necessary that the children of our deceased members be under the care of the society, so far as to pay for the education of their children; also to put them out apprentices to suitable trades or places. 77. With whose assistance did Simon Boliver liberate South America from the yoke of Spain? In 1811 the illustrious Bolivar undertook his great deed of shaking off the yoke of Spain, and securing the independence of South America. He fled to Jamaica, and being unsuccessful in obtaining assistance, he repaired to Haiti, where Petion gave him a most cordial welcome and assisted him with men, arms and money. Bolivar's first expedition with Haitian volunteers was unsuccessful, and he feared lest Haiti refuse further assistance; but to his surprise Haiti rushed him re-inforcements, which finally turned his disasters to victory and the spirit of liberty marched on to the redemption of South America. 78.

COW'S MEADOW "Moo, moo." said Mrs. Cow. "Moo, moo," said Mrs. Brown-and White Cow. "And pray, have you something to say to me? You look as though you had something on your cow mind." "Ah yes," said Mrs. Cow, "I have something to say to you. In the first place I've heard people talk about their homes. "Sometimes children will come to play with the farmer's children and they will talk of their homes and each will love their own home better than any other. "They enjoy going visiting but home they say is the best of all. "And the farmer loves his farm. And the farmer's wife loves yonder farm house. "All of this is quite true but what I had to say was that I am like people in that way. "I love my meadow. I really feel as though this were my own meadow." "Te be sure, I share it with the other cows but it is my home. "These children who speak of loving their homes share their homes with their mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers but the home is theirs, too. "And so this meadow is my home. "I love it just as they love the beauty of their houses. They always think their houses are beautiful and beautiful they are, I'm sure. "Their houses are filled with furniture they love and pictures they love just as this meadow is filled with grass which I love and down yonder is a brook which I love, and over there is a tree under which I like to lie. "Oh, a cow knows what it is to love her own home and to be proud of it. "In fact I am so proud of it and like it so much and enjoy the grass so "Down Yonder is a Brook." thoroughly that at times I almost feel as though I had something to do with the making of the grass! "Moo, moo, I have written a song about my love of my home and if you would like to hear it I will sing it to you." "I would love to hear it, moo, moo," said Mrs. Brown-and-White-Cow. So Mrs. Cow made what we would consider strange little sounds which she called singing. This was her song: "I love my home, my meadow home. In it I roam, in it I roam. I eat of its grasses and its grasses are sweet, And observe its sky ceiling is always so neat. There aren't any cobwebs in my ceiling, the sky. In the first place a broom wouldn't reach that high To brush it up and brush it down And brush it over the country and town. "In the second place the sky is so very clean For with cleanly beauty it doth shine." "That word 'doth,'" said Mrs. Brown-and-White-Cow, sounds very poetical." "I thought you would like it, my dear," said Mrs. Cow. "But my song is not ended. Shall I finish it?" "Do," said Mrs. Brown-and-White-cow. "I love in my beautiful mirror to look. My mirror of course is yonder brook. In it I see if I look my cow best. And when I see I do I then take a rest. "Then I rest and I dream and I think of my home. My beautiful home from which I'll My beautiful home from which I'll neer roam. neer roam. I am what you would call a contented cow And the end of my song has been reached just now." Mrs. Brown-and-White-Cow swished her tall and said: "Moo, moo, I don't know much about poetry but as a cow critic I'd say you have done very well." "Thank you," said Mrs. Cow. "I wanted a little praise even though you may know nothing of what you are saying!" RIDDLES. What is the best plot for a nature story? The grass-plot. * * * Why is a cherry like a book?

COOLIDGE ASK MORE FUNDS TO RACE SCHOOLS First Message of New Executive to Congress Deals on U. S. Stiuations. (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—Leaders of Negro thought who have been communicated with since the reading of the presidential message in the early part of the week are frankly puzzled by that part of the message which referred to the Negro. There is now, more pronounced than ever, the feeling that something, something more advanced than was suggested by Mr. Coolidge has got to be done with the so-called "problem." There is a disposition on the part of many to give Mr. Coolidge credit for the courage to say the same things that other Presidents have said without considerable effort to suggest anything new. It is significant that, placed as the paragraphs on the Negro are in the message, following those on prohibition and the necessity of law enforcement, there is nothing said about a stricter enforcement of the laws relative to the treatment to be accorded the Negro. There is the same attitude of "the Negro is a part of America's citizenry. He should be treated all right. The crime of lynching is bad. We ought to do something, probably create a commission to study all the forms of mistreatment to which these 12,000,000 are subjected. Of course, much in the improvement of race relations will depend upon local conditions and the improvement of understanding. Dr. Moton has just told us that two races which understand each other cannot hate each other. So we think there had better be this commission, some kind of a commission to study the matter." Asks Appropriation. That's the way it has gone along all the while. Mr. Coolidge adds the other note of doing something for Howard University's medical school, a subject in which all of the race is interested, but which it is regrettable to have to have brought to the attention of the national legislature. Because white, or American, medical schools refuse to admit Negro applicants, Jim Crow them, the Congress must be sought to provide an appropriation for us charity-deserving people. It seems that the half million dollars could be so much more worthily spent in an effort to persuade against the barring away from any American school of any class of American citizens. Mr. Coolidge, like most of our Presidents, shies at the suggestion of strict enforcement of laws relative to Negro. Negro leaders have about become convinced that there is a definite conviction against such an expression among white leaders from the President down. Negroes are becoming subject to the fear that white men in positions of influence are afraid to tackle the problem of Negro law enforcement. Either that or they do not respect power of the Negro vote, or do not regard the sanctity of his citizenship sufficiently to stand out for law enforcement. It is generally believed that Mr. Coolidge's disposition of the Negro question was done easily, perhaps more easily than any other covered in his comprehensive message. Negro soldiers will be sorry that he is against the bonus, inasmuch as they, largely situated in the southern, or poor states, will be the chief ones to suffer from such disfavor. RACE VOTERS' LEAGUE CALLS MASS MEETING The Colored Voters' league has called a mass meeting for December 20, at Memorial Baptist church. This is the first mass meeting since the organization of this league, which is an independent political organization whose effort and purpose will be thoroughly explained at this meeting. There will be a number of speakers of prominent race men on the program and it is hoped every one will come and bring their friends and neighbors. MILL CITY DAILY PAPER IS AMONG RACE HELPERS (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that out of a number of white papers to which letters were sent, requesting support in the fight to free the Houston martyrs, the New York Evening Post, Minneapolis Journal, Cincinnati Post and The Christian Science Monitor published the letter. SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN "Ballad of the Brown Girl" Is a prize winner New York City—Countee P. Cullen, a student at New York University, has won second prize in the Witter Bynner undergraduate poetry contest, according to an announcement from the Poetry Society of America, under whose auspices the contest was held. Cullen was one of the 700 under-graduates, representing sixty-colleges and universities, entered in the competition. The judges were Carl Sandburg, Alice Corbin and Mr. Bynner. Cullen received one vote, while the other two chose Maurice Leseman's "In the Range Country" as the winning poem. Leseman represented the University of Chicago. Cullen's topic was "The Ballad of the Brown Girl." The poem is 200 lines in length. Its theme is: For gold or fertile lands, For love is meat and love is drink And love heeds love's commands And love is shelter from the rain And.scowling, stormy skies: Who casts off love must break his heart And rue it till he dies. Cullen is the son of the Rev. Frederick A. Cullen of 234 West 31st street, pastor of the Salem Methodist church. He is 20 years old and a student in the junior class of the College of Arts and Pure Science. Many of his contributions have been printed in various magazines. His writing first attracted attention when he was a student at De Witt Clinton high school, where he won the poetry prize offered by the Federation of Women's Clubs. His effort for that contest took the form of a parody on Alan Seeger's "I Have a Rendezvous With Death," which Cullen called "I Have a Rendezvous With Life." This poem follows: I have a rendezvous with Life, In days I hope will come Ere youth has sped and strength of mind. Ere voices sweet grow dumb; I have a rendezvous with Life When Spring's first herald's hum. Sure, some would cry it better far To crown their days in sleep, Than face the wind, the road and Than face the wind, the road and rain, To heed the falling deep. Though wet, nor blow, nor space, I fear, Yet fear I deeply, too, Lest Death should greet and claim me ere I keep Life's rendezvous. Cullen says he is interested in poetry for poetry's sake and not for propaganda purposes. "In spite of myself," he adds, "however, I find that I am actuated by a strong sense of race consciousness. This grows upon me, I find, as I grow older; and although I struggle against it, it colors my writing, I fear, in spite of everything I can do. There have been many things in my life that have hurt me, and I find that the surest relief from these hurts is in writing."

"DOC" ROBINSON WILL GO ON 3 MONTHS' TRIP (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.-Elbert R. "Doc" Robinson, 70-year-old disputed inventor of an improved railroad car wheel, has been sentenced to spend three months in jail and to pay a fine of $600 for threatening to shoot Deputy United States Marshall Sam Howard. The fight over Robinson's invention has raged for years.

He owns a number of high-powered cars, one of these being the famous Flat roadster first bought by Jess Willard. Fighting Group Avers Split in A. M. E. Church Dissension Caused by Plan to Oust Present Secretary of Sunday School Union. Nashville, Tenn.—A. M. E. church circles are preparing for the 1924 general conference to be held in Louisville. A number of important issues are expected to be divided at the coming conclave. None, however, surmounting in interest the fight which threatens over the Sunday school publishing house, located here, and the attitude of Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the Sunday School Union. It is claimed that the problem which is facing the Methodists is the same which split the National Baptist convention back in 1915. So warm has the situation grown through what a leading bishop during the recent Atlanta conference described as the "practical usurpation of the church's interests" and the "autocratic attitude of Secretary Bryant" that some of the more conservative officials who abhor a fight are said to be favoring the abandonment of the Nashville plant. Oppose Bryant. During the Tennessee conference which was held at Nashville this month, the Atlanta conference, the Georgia and South Georgia conferences held at Savannah and Thomasville, the selection of delegates to the general conference and the publishing board situation were the main topics. It is said that friends of Mr. Bryant have made a definite attempt to elect delegates who would follow his bidding but that in practically every conference they have met defeat. It is pointed out by opponents of Mr. Bryant that under the laws of Tennessee the boards of control governing such institutions as schools and church property are made self-perpetuating. This fact they ever enabled the so-called Boyd group to retain control of the immense publishing interests which have been built up through the National Baptist convention when the convention endeavored to exercise control and appoint officials. The courts held that under the Tennessee laws the board was supreme. Vanderbilt University, the wealthy white school here, founded and developed by the M. E. Church South, was taken over by its board under similar conditions and the church has been forced to relinquish all control. Battle Expected. Thus, it is said, is the situation facing the A. M. E.'s. Secretary Bryant is accused of inaugurating a rule or ruin policy opposing every Bishop who has been appointed to the district and to have amassed wealth since his tenure of office. Egorts to dislodge him in the past have been unsuccessful and a merry battle is looked for in Louisville next May. Eleven delegates were elected at the Georgia conference and seven at the South Georgia conference which was presided over by Bishop Flipper. At the Tennessee conference held here November 9, Bishop A. J. Carey presided and seven delegates were elected. Secretary Bryant created something of sensation when he arose to a question of personal privilege and proceeded to defend his actions in interesting himself in certain local matters relating to St. John's church in which the conference was held. The reply of Dr. G. W. Williams, the pastor, bristled with charges. The incident closed with some stirring remarks by Bishop Carey, who claimed that he had been falsely accused by those who had rather destroy than build up the church and race. The conference passed a strong resolution commending Bishop Carey's administration. $75,000,000 PER YEAR LOST CAUSED BY ILLNESS (By the Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala.—"It is estimated that 100,000 Negro workers in the South can be found sick every day," declared Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, during an address dedicating the Tuggle Institute hospital. "At the very lowest estimate this means that the race is losing in earning capacity nearly 50,000,000 of dollars every year by sickness alone. In the race as a whole nearly half a million persons can be found sick every day in the year. When you add the cost of doctors' bills and medicine to the loss of earnings due to the same cause, we find that sickness is costing the race more than $75,000,000 a year."

"The Plantation Special," scheduled to leave Chicago over the Illinois Central railroad Sunday afternoon for a long journey to Rosedale, Miss., "collided" with the "Great Northern Special" in the 12th St. station and was completely wrecked. The plantation train, born in the brain of G. W. Harding, a white planter representing the backwoodsmen of Mississippi, conceived the idea that there were thousand of our people in Chicago praying to get back to the cotton fields of the South. He planned a wholesale raid of the South Side, and set his machinery in motion with the aid of Richard E. Parker, editor of a "now and then" newspaper, and Clarence Powers. Headquarters were established at Golden Star employment office, 3233 State St. Harding had been duped to believe that 300 families would leave with him to the first train South. Instead his hopes were wrecked when he stood at the station and greeted only 12 subjects ranging in age from 46 to 72 years. He was disgusted. R. J. Carmichel, assistant passenger agent of the Illinois Central, stood close by. "Not enough," he remarked to Harding. "We can't give you any reduction. Just at this moment a giant locomotive steamed slowly by and stopped. Three coaches crammed with dark people that came all the way from Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee hopped out burdened with luggage and filed by Harding. He deserted his ragged followers and escape to a Loop hotel. Parker, his handy man, gave the Harding bunch word to return at 5 o'clock and added that each should "bring a friend along." When the hour arrived a few ragged strangers appeared and Harding, rather than go empty-handed, took them along. What he will do with them is problematical. Harding apparently came to Chicago under misguided influence. His money was long, but his judgment short. He scattered 18,000 hand bills on the South Side and augmented this appeal by sending out a wagon heavily placarded with signs describing the glory of the cotton field and the Sunny South. He told his listeners (those who had nothing else to do) how the Southern white man had changed; that the hand that once held the lyncher's rope and the mob's torch had been replaced by angels' wings; how the "law" had reformed and would function without regard to color. But his host could not see it that way. Citizens throughout the South Side marveled at Harding's colossal nerve and wondered how the city would permit him to come here as a labor agent when in the South men are thrown in jail and even murdered for such practices. The Illinois law permits slave driving Southern plantation owners to canvass its territory in search of prey without the slightest molestation, while in Mississippi a decent and respectable Northerner rounding up labor there would be slain on sight. Mr. Walter McCoy and family of Minneapolis spent Saturday afternoon with his mother, Mrs. W. McCoy, and sister, Mrs. Lillian McKnight, 478 West Central avenue. 2ND ANNUAL EXPOSITION (Continued from page 1) closing remarks were: "I am glad to be here, to witness your display. The part you are playing is one of great importance. The colored man is no less than a citizen and I wish for you the greatest possible success in your undertaking, and I am always glad to be a helper in any capacity where you are benefited." The Style Show proved the Shuffle Along number. "If you've never been vamped by a brown skin," is more truth than poetry. Never has the Twin Cities witnessed so beautiful a group of perfect models displaying the variations of milies creations from lingerie to evening gowns. A display of beautiful hats, sport outfits, afternoon frocks, mink, seal and other fur wraps caught the eye of the spectators and put several years of new life into some of the older guests. The bridal party was extremely beautiful and was a big feature of the Style Revue. Both nights of the exposition of FOR RENT ALL OR PART OF SECOND FLOOR TO RESPONSIBLE PARTY, OF THE THE NEW HOTEL HOWELL Will Make Ideal Bachelor Apartment or Private Home THE HOUSE this particular feature was awaited with eager expectancy. The Popularity Contest was another of the topics of much discussion. The contestants were in keen rivalry for first honors, and it was truly interesting to watch the ladies "gum shoeing" with their cards for support. About half the confetti in the Autorium must have been made by punching holes in their cards. Isabelle Castoni won first prize in the Popularity Contest. Albertina Montague second prize. Prof. Wm. Moore and his concert orchestra were a formidable asset to the exposition. One of the noticeable features was the diversity of musical presentations. "II' Trovator" and "Gypsey Blues" were no hindrance, as both kinds of music was well played. During the dance program the band fairly radiated syncopation. With Exhibitors. The Auditorium, looking from the farthest part of the balcony, appeared like a decorated garden as every color could be clearly discerned in the array of exhibitors' booths.

By defeating Prairie View, 10-6, Thanksgiving day, the purple and white entry from Marshall enriched the championship in football for the season of 1923. Prior to the Turkey day battles, four conference levers had a chance at the championship, Wiley, Bishop, Paul Quinn and Prairie View. The dope was completely upset last Thursday when Texas College, who had not won a conference battle all season, smeared Bishop and went back to Tyler with the long end of a 3-0 battle.
